Sage X3

Pros: Customization options within the ERP software. Compared to other players in the ERP field I think it is a good value proposition.

Cons: The amount of available documentation seems a little sparse from the website. Also if you use the Sage University for training they limit documentation that you can download.

Pros: Sage X3 helped centralize workflows, improve reporting visibility, and automate repetitive operational tasks across finance, inventory, and procurement teams while reducing manual coordination work.

Cons: The learning curve can be difficult for new users, and some advanced configurations and reporting sections require additional setup time and technical support to fully optimize workflows.

Pros: The customizability of Sage allowed for us to manage our unique products and sales processes in a way not previously possible.

Cons: There are a handful of restrictions that make it difficult. An example includes not being able to allocate product to quotes.

Pros: It is customizable, and widely used for a variety of company types. We use a vendor and experience easy implementation.

Cons: I don’t know 4GL, so instead of in house customizations we have a third party vendor for our changes.

Pros: Sage X3 is a good financial system for a small to medium company. Transactions are easy to track and to post with the relevant screens that can be navigated through. It is also good for a company with multiple entities as these can be interchanged and tracked easily. The reporting functionality 'SEI' which is an excel add in is quite good and allows individuals to create reports which can be used for relevant purposes. This is a quick and easy way of getting information from the system. the debtors and creditors aging reporting is also quite good which allows us to see a good overview of the transactional aspects of the business.

Cons: Difficult to make any changes if required. There is little information available for self help so if any changes need to be made or assistance then this usually requires an additional cost or discussions with specialists which can be timely and costly. For example, a change in the year end date was not easy for us as there has been forward postings for deferred revenue. Additionally control is a bit lacking with Sage X3, it is difficult to do things like close down month end or specify roles due to having to look in multiple places. A simple month end close you have to go to about 4/5 screens so it is easy to make mistakes here. It is also difficult to upgrade when different patches are released and usually you have to get specialist help with this which can be expensive.

Pros: Sage X3 is a brilliant stock based sage system. It has enhanced features for costing and warehouse management.

Cons: My least favourite components of sage X3 is the complexity of the system. There is not a beginner friendly system, but useful when learnt.

Pros: I’have been using Sage X3 close to last year now mainly handling inventory and reposting. The flexibility stand out. we’ve adjusted workflow, built custom reports using the query tool, and connected it with other system through web services. It handles multi location stock and finance together, which saves a lit of back and forth.

Cons: The learning curve is real. Some workflows are not very obvious and you need proper training to understand how things connect. Documentation could be better in some areas.

Pros: The multiple configuration possibilities. The multiple modules. Mobile automation. The development and administration area.

Cons: The online help topics. The reports. The cost. The complexity of the Syracuse/Mongo DB setup and lack of documentation available for users. The force use of resellers for acquiring new licenses, documentation and help.

Pros: Strong flexibility and scalability across modules, especially in finance, manufacturing, and supply chain. The system allows extensive customization, robust reporting (SQL/Query Tool), and supports complex processes like inter-site, multi-company, and regulatory compliance integrations

Cons: The user interface can feel outdated and less intuitive compared to modern systems. Performance may slow down with large data volumes, and some configurations require strong technical knowledge, making implementation and troubleshooting more complex

Pros: Streamlines complex operations with real-time data, boosts efficiency across finance/supply chain, and scales easily for growing businesses.

Cons: Certain tiers be expensive, complex to set up, and may require training or consultants to use effectively.

Pros: Value for money - Advanced functionality for an affordable price, especially when compared with other Tier 1 ERPs like SAP and Oracle. Ease of use- Fairly useful UI. Customizations - One of the most flexible ERPs in the market.

Cons: Frankly, it is an very good ERP solution. It can compete with Tier 1 products like SAP and Oracle, and the pricing (both in licensing and implementation fees) is well bellow those.

Pros: Sage X3 is a useful tool for accountants in a manufacturing based business looking to keep track of various stock types. It has an approachable interface that can be utilised in various ways to generate stock reports and utililisation reports.

Cons: The initial issues i had with X3 were in relation to the learning curve, it can be quite difficult to fully adapt to the system and understand how to use all the tools effectively.

Pros: I enjoy the customizations, there are plenty of courses available online (both paid and free) to help learn Sage X3.

Cons: From the clients perspective, the customizations require a very technical, or even certified employee or a certified partner in order to customize Sage X3.

Pros: Your software is easy to use, the accounting management is user friendly. Excellent value for this price.

Cons: I can’t use the entire functionality of the software due to a malfunction of the bank link process with Desjardins.

Pros: I like sage x3 because it’s flexible, secure, and covers most business processes especially Sales side. it follows best practices and can be customized to fit specific needs for customers. it’s easy to use, and with help from it and the sage team, changes can be made to meet business goals.

Cons: what i liked least about sage x3 is it’s kinda hard to learn at first. some parts are confusing and not super user-friendly. customizing stuff takes time and you need help from it. also, support isn’t always quick.

Pros: With X3 you can make the software fit your business. Not make your business fit the software. The tools are built in to make this happen.

Cons: Improvements and changes for new technology and features are rapid. Though the tools are there to move to new versions, it is still time consuming. Typically it's a weekend project at least.

Pros: Flexibility. Many things that require customizations in other ERPs can be done in Sage X3 via options, configurations, and formulas.

Cons: Steep learning curve. As one of my Sage X3 course instructors said, "Despite your experience with ERPs, in Sage X3 you can't play it by ear or guess; you must know. The workflow is often not logical."

Pros: Processes for payments setting up ach payments processing accounts payable invoices setting up new vendors

Cons: Filtering was my least favorite. And some of the setup functions for processing payments for accounts.

Pros: Ce que j'apprécie le plus, c'est le fait que l'ensemble des process peut être effectué sur Sage X3, de la demande de prix, l'achat, la fabrication, la logistique, livraison, facturation, comptabilité. Et la capacité à être développé pour améliorer, ou créer de nouveaux modules complets.

Cons: Il arrive que certains patchs mettent en défaut des fonctionnement jusque là stables. Un état valorisé des stock abonné par exemple, qui lors de la mise à jour 2024R2 ne s'éditait plus. Mais la mise à jour 2024R3 suivante a corrigé le défaut.

Pros: Sage X3 is a robust and flexible ERP system that excels in managing complex business operations across multiple departments, locations, and even countries. I particularly appreciated the customization options and its powerful reporting capabilities. The workflow automation and audit tracking features also significantly streamlined our business processes and improved visibility across the board.

Cons: The user interface is not the most intuitive especially for new users or non technical staff. There is a steep learning curve and the system requires thorough training to unlock its full potential. While customization is a strength it often requires developer support which can become costly over time. Some updates and patches have also caused temporary disruptions.

Pros: So many ways to process data and a wide array of reports for data view the information that you are looking for.

Cons: Data Entry of payments a bit lengthy--too much manual effort at times. Would like to be able to do multiple lines at once or in a more flowing way.

Pros: Supports accounting, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, sales, human resources, and supply chain management in one system.

Pros: I like how Sage X3 helps keep everything connected from inventory to finance without needing a bunch of tools

Cons: The setup and learning process isn’t super quick and can be frustrating without some IT help along the way
